Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After confirming that all the monsters had entered the small world, Sun Keke stopped playing the flute.

With a flick of her wrist, Sun Lili cast a gravity spell that pressed down on all the monsters.

Attacked, the monsters suddenly came to their senses and were surprised to find themselves in such a beautiful place, in a daze.

The sky was an unprecedented azure blue, free of the repulsive dust and the pervasive corrosive elements. Moisture and earth, the fragrance of flowers and the scent of grass, mingled together, shattering all their newly risen ritual of rebellion.

Compared to a shelter, this is paradise!

Behind them, the World Flower, under Song Mingyu's control, swayed gently. Amidst the rustling of the leaves, a gentle consciousness touched their souls.

Would you like to live here?

Without the slightest hesitation, all the monsters nodded in agreement.

We used to live such hard lives!

The little monsters started running around happily, jumping around on the grass, occasionally taking a bite of the greens and savoring the delicious and juicy grass.

Su Li waited on the ground for a while before Song Mingyu finally flew down from the World Flower.

"How is it?" Su Li asked.

"There are some troubles, but they can all be resolved," Song Mingyu said with a smile.

"Trouble? Is there anything I can help you with?" Su Li patted his greatsword.

Song Mingyu waved her hand, "It's not a big problem. These demons are too clean; they don't even have any symbiotic bacteria in their bodies. My previous epidemic prevention work was originally intended to protect them from the difficult viruses they would bring to the world. I didn't expect that this epidemic prevention spell would protect them instead."

At this point, Song Mingyu almost laughed, "They need to get used to the environment here during this time. After all, it's like people who live in a sterile environment suddenly coming to the outside world. It'll be uncomfortable for a while. Fortunately, they are all demons, and even the weakest of them has the strength of the mid-stage Black Iron level. With the World Flower's care and the attribute enhancement of the small world itself, there's not too much to worry about."

Su Li was speechless. "It must be a curse. Wow, even bacteria have been cursed to death. I've never seen anything like it."

If the source of this curse were alive, this resentment could be used to make at least a trilogy of horror movies.

With all the monsters in the oasis wiped out, Zuli can now explore further.

Su Li asked Song Mingyu for another slime, stuffed a stone inside the little guy, and then threw the slime into the very center of the lake.

In the very center of the lake, there is a black pit, and no one knows how deep it is.

After the slime was thrown in, it sank directly to the bottom of the water due to the influence of the stone inside its body.

Song Mingyu stood aside, sensing the slime's condition.

After a long while, Song Mingyu opened her eyes. "The depth of this pool is beyond my perception."

Song Mingyu's perception comes from her contract skill, and her perception range exceeds one kilometer.

In other words, this water pit is a kilometer deep?

Upon receiving this news, Su Li abandoned her idea of ​​going into the water to investigate.

After mining a large amount of crystalline salt and crystal, Sun Lili's experimental results also came out.

“It’s a pity.” Sun Lili handed the crystal bottle to Su Li. “The water inside has also lost its internal energy.”

"Ugh, what a hassle."

Su Li nodded helplessly.

At this point, there was nothing left to collect in the oasis, and Zuli and the others returned to the train.

Su Li arrived at the operations command center, looked at the map on the ground, thought for a moment, and crossed out the originally planned route. "Let's change the route. Let's go to the next oasis first and check it out. If it's similar to this oasis, we won't go to this small oasis anymore. Instead, we'll go to the medium and large oasis. Our destination will still be the largest oasis."

Zuli redraws a line on the map, a line that is a little longer and takes a slightly longer route than before.

"The small oasis yielded very little. The only minerals were iron ore, and there wasn't even a treasure chest."

After discussing it, the teammates agreed with Su Li's idea.

After setting the train's route and assigning staff to be on duty, Zu Li arrived at the workshop.

Inside the workshop, only the furnace was still working, melting the ore into metal ingots.

Su Li took out some materials from the storage compartment and came to the workbench.

Zuli separated some salt from the salt block and placed it on the workbench.

As magical energy was infused, the runes on the workbench began to glow, and under the rune's radiance, the speckled blue light inside the salt grains became even more pronounced.

This is the most basic technique for bringing out the energy components within the material.

Energy materialized, and Su Li took out several tools that resembled electronic pens. She aimed them at the salt grains and manipulated the instruments to measure the energy.

[Just as I imagined, it has a strong holy attribute, but there are also some familiar traces... Is it the life force of the planet?]

So, these strange waters are a restraining force transformed from the planet's life force to combat the curse? The energy level is very high.

One of her doubts was resolved, and Su Li felt a surge of excitement.

If it's a subspecies of energy transformed from the power of the world, then we can try methods for dealing with the power of the world.

Su Li had never actually tried handling this kind of high-end energy before. The life force of the planets they had previously encountered had never been manipulated; it was always controlled by powerful figures behind the scenes.

Zuli concentrated intently and, based on her previous knowledge of alchemy, began to use magical energy to extract the substance.

Ten minutes later, the salt grains in Su Li's hand suddenly burst forth with a bright blue light, then turned into a wisp of green smoke.

"Tsk, failed. The difficulty was too high. At least gold-level magic energy is needed to attempt purification."

Su Li sighed, but just because it can't be extracted doesn't mean it can't be used.

Zuli took out a large piece of salt. "I can still manage to compress the active ingredients simply."

Under Zuli's control, the salt was concentrated, and the various impurities contained within were filtered out. In the end, Zuli obtained a more concentrated light blue salt block.

"At this point, we can't condense it any further."

He took a long-necked flask and poured in a high-quality grain distillate, the liquid as clear as water. Then, he carefully added a few drops of viscous resinous oil with a warm, pine-scented aroma and the juice of a water-based crop.

After several minutes of heating and mixing, the liquid in the flask turned into a colorless oil.

Zurich poured the finely ground, shimmering salt powder into the mixture. He didn't stir it, but instead held his hand over the mouth of the flask.

Guided by his magic, the liquid inside the bottle began to slowly rotate on its own, forming a tiny vortex. The fine salt powder was drawn into the vortex, and the blue specks of light, as if alive, actively and joyfully dissolved into the alcohol, rapidly transforming the originally colorless liquid into a deep, transparent liquid sapphire color, continuously emitting a faint purifying glow.

Zurich moved the flask to a low-temperature lamp holder. He maintained a gentle temperature to allow the reaction to continue, waiting for the essence of the salt to fully combine with the solvent.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Su Li picked up the flask. He opened the cap and poured out the liquid.

A type of essential oil has emerged that is viscous, almost colorless, and has a faint scent of seawater.

Su Li picked up the finished product with satisfaction, and then added some metal powder that had been prepared beforehand.

"This is the finished product." Su Li looked at the oil inside with satisfaction. The oil looked a bit like hemp seed oil.

Su Li immediately used an appraisal technique.

[Unnamed Sea Salt Sword Oil]

[Iron Grade]

[When used on a melee weapon, it grants the weapon a special attack effect based on a specific cursed power, increasing damage dealt by 20%.]
